CARE International believes all marginalised people should be able to claim their rights and exercise their responsibilities and this is why we take the issue of gender inequality very seriously. As a rights-based organization, CARE deliberately and explicitly focuses on enabling people to achieve the minimum conditions for living in dignity - in other words, achieving their human rights. CARE is a member of the Gender And Development Network (GADN), which is made up of more than 180 leading practitioners, academics and consultants working on gender and development issues.
